This did not look very convincing, so it's quite possible that at least some bystanders did recognise it as a stunt.

With the way thugs all go round with knives now days, if you tried to help someone, you could end up dead yourself.

I was threatened by a guy with a broken bottle on a crowded station platform in SE London. When I looked around everyone else on the platform had disappeared to the other end! Thankfully I was able to talk the guy out of cutting me and walk away.

Exactly. There's nothing but rubbish on tv now.

I stopped paying my tv license long ago, and now just watch online content like iPlayer if I have to. I recommend others doing the same.

It looks stagged and fake. If your going to mug someone then you dont shout at them, go face to face and stay with them for a long period of time. You grab and go.

I dare say the bystanders were transfixed by the poor acting. As others have said, there's no way this would have looked like a real mugging so this sort of thing proves little about how people would act under those circumstances. What's more, staged events like this might just backfire if, for example, someone vulnerable was badly shocked or decided to get involved and suffered a heart attack in the process. Irresponsible I reckon.

You should've shoved the bottle up into his throat, he wouldn't have done it again..........

You would also get arrested if you hurt the poor mugger!
